THE MEETING TONIGHT.

The citizens of Indianapolis, and the men,
bers of the committee of one hundred partic-
ularly, will not forget the meeting called for
tonight at the Criminal courtroom. It is
hoped that there will be such an attendance
as will indicate that the honest men Of the
city are determined that election thieves and
forgers shall be detected and punished. Let
the attendance be so large as to give
the strength of great popular sentiment to
the Criminal Court in the work of prosecuting
the suspected scoundrels. Indianapolis must
not be given over to the gang that does not
hesitate to pollute the ballots OF the people
with their crimes. The meeting tonight can
be such a one as to make the future compare
lively easy and bright for the cause of good
government and honest elections in this city
and county The courtroom should be full
of earnest, determined men.

MR.. BEECHER AND HIS MONEY.

The failure of Henry Ward Beeeher to ac-
cumulate wealth when, with the large income
which was his for so many years, he might
easily have done So has often been commented
upon, and always with open or implied disap-
prevail. Since his death the announcement
that the estate left is not over 800 900 in
value has already caused disparaging remarks
concerning his financial ability. 1t seems to
be regarded by some as little less than a crime
that the great preacher was not inclined to Law
up treasure on earth as we'll as in heaven. and
his liberality Of expenditure as thing to be
condemned. Nothing could better illustrate
the mercenary spirit of the age than this.
Even the minister of the gospel must have a
balance in bank if he wishes to stand high in
public estimation. The size Of that balance
will, indeed, 60 far to measure his success in
the pulpit with the critics in question. On the
other hand, however there are some me mbers
of the community-a small minority, it is true,
but still respectable element-who will
hold that Mr.. Beecher's example in respect
to his financial affairs was lesson needed by

the rising generation far more than instruc-
ton in theology, and that if they will give heed
to it he will not have lived in vain, though
his sermons be forgotten and his writings
molder away in neglected corners.
Why should Mr.. Beecher have "saved his
money!" The world dealt literally with
him, and he was supplied for nearly forty
years with an income which enabled him to
meet all demands. He educated his chill
dren, he entertained his friends, he gave in
charity, he lived in comfort, and supplied
himself and family with those things which
seemed to conduce to their well-being;
among all his detractors no one is found to
say that he wasted his substance in lux
urious self-indulgence, or that it was not ex-
pended with good judgment and the kindest
and most benevolent Of intentions He used
his income as seemed wisest to him in max
ing others and, consequently. himself happy;
certainly those on whom the benefits were
chiefly bestowed should find no fault, and no
others have the right. He lived while he
lived like generous man; not unmindful of
the needs of old age but with the feeling
that the best good Of riches is not in piling

The report of the House committee deals
with facts and news to the line. 1t
shows that the charges of gross and
scandalous mismanagement are fully
sustained. The hospital has been run

secondary consideration; perhaps we should
say its insane inmates, for all the sane ones
are tenderly cared for. The charges against
the notorious Dr. Harrison are fully sustained.
The favoritism and dishonesty in awarding
contracts and the furnishing of diseased hogs
and maggoty butter are established. DR..
Harrison has worked his mine very industri
ously, drawing 81, 600 year, when the law
allows him only 5000, and overdrawing his
salary in four years So, 800. Philip NJ. Gapen,
one of the trustees, attended only one meeting
Of the board in thirteen months, and, though
he was out of the State, drew his salary Of
$50 a month regularly and sometimes in ad-
vance. The funds of the institution have been
squandered, and its purposes perverted and
prostituted. The committee recommend that
proceedings be commenced by the Attorney
general for the immediate removal of the pres
ent trustees, and they also recommend the in
slant dismissal Of J. S. Hall, present book
keeper and storekeeper, and one of Harrison's
creatures. The Democrats in the House

THE SIGNAL WEATHER SERVICE.


BY the boorish stupidity of Mr.. Cleveland,
who would do nothing to facilitate legislation
during the last day of Congress, as all his pre-
decessors in the presidential office had done,
and by the dilstoriness and incompetence of
the Democratic House. of Representatives the
deficiency bill failed to become a
law. Because of this, many hardships
will be felt by the people. One Of the most
important is the Gripping of the weather

continue the publication of the regular table
of weather reports, for the reason that the
reports have been so curtailed as to be abso-
lutely worthless for any practical purpose

paid no attention to these papers, but pro-
ceeded to recommend the appointment of a
young Irishwoman who had worked as a
seamstress in his family, and whom he knew
to be honest, competent and good Democrat.
She was promptly appointed by the President,
and, on hearing the news, was probably the

OUR LEAGUE CLUB.

That Indianapolis would be admitted to
the National Base ball League was a foregone
conclusion. Indianapolis gets everything she
goes for: the only trouble is that she doesn't
20 often enough. Her pole is Of sufficient
longitude to dislodge much greater number
Of persimmons than she gathers, but the
pole is not used as often as it should be. In
this case the enterprising gentlemen who
took it in hand welded it effectively and
with satisfactory results. The journal con-
graduates them on the success OF their eff
forts. They have demonstrated that Indi-
annapolis, besides being in the corn belt, the
beef belt, the pork belt, ETC., is also in the
baseball belt. In addition to being rail
road center, she is a national base ball center.
The baseball constituency of the city
proper and the country tributary to it is
very large Within radius of fifty miles,
taking the city as a center, there are many
thousands of persons interested in the game.
Of course, these are not all experts: they in
clude all degrees OF baseball enthusiasts,
from the timid and blushing amateur to the
aspiring professional and the gentlemanly
and accomplished umpire. A glance at the
map, as the railroad men say, will show that
circle described as above would include
active and passive players, professionals and
amateurs, possible and prospective players,
regular and occasional frequenters of the
game reformed, retired and disabled players,
theorists and critics to the number of sew
eral thousand, or more. All these will be
glad to hear that Indianapolis has been ad-
ways rejoices with those who rejoice, it con.
graduates them.

THE DEMOCRATIC aDEFENsE,o

The apology and defense of the revolution
lists, prepared by committee appointed for
the purpose just before the end of the ses
sion, fills eight columns Of the Sentinel. It
is mastery suppression of the truth and
very able in what it does not tell. 1t abounds
tempt at strong writing. Its weak and watery
sentences are in striking contrast with the
eminently Democratic style of Green Smith,
who, when handed certified copy of the Su-
preme Court decision, said: ''Tell the writer
of this to 60 to hell" The statesmen who
prepared the Democratic defense evidently
tried to adopt more dignifed style. AS
specimen of its strong statement of facts take
the following:
"When the Senate Of Indiana met, on the
9th day of January, 1887, it had been publicly
known for many months that Gen. Mahlon d.
Manson, who had been elected Lieutenant
governor of the State in November, 1884 had
in July, 1856, accepted the appointment of
the dictatorship of the Seventh district under
the government of the United States, and so
had become incompetent to fill the office of
Lieutenant governor
In view of the fact That Manson vacated the
office of Lieutenant governor in August, 1886,
and that in November, 22S, Cos Democrats and
231, 922 Republicans voted for his successor,
this is a bold and ringing statement. AS the
writer's of the defense all worked and voted
for John C. Nelson, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant governor, they. Of course, had
personal knowledge that the Office was vacant.
But it required a good deal of nerve for them
eral months" They might have said it was
rumored, or was an "open secret or have
toned it down in some way so as not to invite
incredulity. Again: referring to the court
proceedings by which Smith tried to get an
Endorsement Of his usurpation, the defense
says:
"In the meantime the pretended Lieuten-
ant-governor had appealed the case in which
he had been beaten upon the application for
an injunction before the judge of the Marion
| Circuit Court, to the Supreme Court of
| Indiana, and the case was there pending"
| cooo ~, OuG Al liAo pICtSuucu Alcutcudut-
governor" was beaten in the lower court and
the Supreme Court reversed the decision who
was beaten thena Most persons would say
the other fellow; but the trainers of the Dem
ocratic defense argue that Robertson was
beaten when the lower court granted an in
junction against him, and beaten again when
the Supreme Court reversed that decision It
is by such mastery presentations Of incpient
idiocy that the able trainers of the defense
expect to fire the Democratic heart. In the
entire eight columns there is not one reference
to the Constitution nor citation Of law-not a
single one. This is easily accounted for, as
there is no law or constitutionalty in the
Democratic position. The entire defense is a
bold but feeble attempt to put good face on
a rascally piece of business. It will not de-
ceive the people.

THE INSANE HOSPITAL REPORTS.

The report of the Senate committee on the
management of the Insane Hospital is imperti-
nent and worthless. 1t is withdrawing re-
port from a committee organized for white
washing purposes. The usurping President
of the Senate appointed the committee, and,
with his usual bluntness, he declared the OBJ
ject and intention to be to "vindicate the
Democratic party" The so-called investiga-
ton was undertaken by the Democrats for
that express purpose. The object was not to
get at the truth, regardless of conse-
quences, but to whitewash the man.
agement regardless of consequences
The report is a vindication of the hospital
management on paper, as everybody knew in
advance it would be, but it does not touch the
facts in the case. The report is worse than
worthless; it is false and misleading. 1t en-
